Yes, It is Nearly Impossible to build the Pyramids Today with the Same Materials!! A Similar Structure could be built, but it would only be a replica, and would Not last 4–12,000 years. A Replica could be made of Steel and Concrete, but it would be hollow and weight Much, much Less!

Can you go inside the pyramids in Cairo?

Can You Go Inside the Pyramids? Yes, you can. ... The inside of the pyramid isn't the same as Tombs in Valley of the Kings in Luxor where you want to see every single one of them. There are no mummies inside since they were all moved to the Egyptian Museum that I highly recommend on visiting as well.

Will the pyramids last forever?

You can go inside both the Great Pyramid (Khufu) and Khafre for an extra fee (400EGP for Khufu and 100EGP for Khafre). There are some that say it is not worth going inside, as there is nothing to see, but personally, I think it is about the experience.
